My name is Maria, and I love essential oils. I sincerely believe they have improved our healthy lifestyle and for those who are interested, dōTERRA also offers the opportunity to have your own business and work from home.

For those of you with young school age children you've no doubt experienced the phenomena where September marks the spread of colds throughout your household. It starts with the sniffles and boogers, progressing to laziness in on the couch and endless cuddles which then turn to mom getting sick and then the other kid, then dad, then back to the kids. Last year for us was particularly trying as is it seemed we were all passing the same cold around for most of the school year. I thought "there must be something I can do". So I talked to some friends and one recommended trying diffusing essential oils. She recommended specifically looking at dōTERRA "On Guard" which is reputed to boost the immune system. So why not, I thought. Nothing to loose. I gave it a try and within a few days of diffusing this pure essential oil, the colds began to dissipate. Was it the oils? I cannot 100% confirm, but I can tell you that since that time, we've diffused many of dōTERRA's essential oils throughout the house, and the number of colds has reduced significantly.

After such a great result with "On Guard", I was open to trying some other oils. I considered the number of candles I burned in the house throughout the year and was now thinking of how much of that soot and chemical that my family was breathing in. Let's try some Eucalyptus! Wow! does Eucalyptus ever smell great in a house. Have you ever been to a spa? There is a reason they have steam rooms with Eucalyptus scent. It's awesome.

Now my husband was starting to stick his toe in the water. "What's that scent?" he asked. "It's Eucalyptus oil"...try putting a few drops in the back of your shower in the morning and see how you like it. Well, he loved it.

Roller balls were next with scents like citrus bliss, and serenity which each had different advertised effects. The most powerful testimony comes from my 6 year old who we were teaching to remove herself from confrontational situations. One day she came home from school very angry at some incident on the bus. She could hardly form a sentence but grabbed a lavender roller ball and began rubbing it all over her arms neck and face. She knows that this scent promotes calm and balance. Hahaha, clearly she's been listening and finds peace in these scents as well. Within minutes, she was relaxed and chilling on the sofa enjoying some cuddles.

So that's my story on why I believe in the benefit of essential oils, now I'll share with you why I am a Wellness Advocate. With dōTERRA you can get a wholesale membership much like Costco. It allows you a 25% discount off retail prices which is nice. The oils are Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade and this is important because this has allowed them to qualify many of their oils as eligible for insurance claims provided a prescription has been issued by your doctor. (which you'd be surprised how many times these oils are prescribed). So as a wholesale account holder, you can buy for less and also qualify for promotional items. For example, in a given month you may receive a free bottle of oil with minimum purchase, or perhaps after ordering a certain amount of product, you may receive back enough points to select your own free oil.

But I became a Wellness Advocate. Why? Because I use the oils, I believe in their benefits and I wanted the opportunity to earn some money for simply sharing my experiences with others. As a stay at home mom, I constantly struggle with balancing being there for my kids, my husband, the bus timings, the after school events, the weekend commitments. How can I contribute financially to our family income while still meeting all our family needs? Like most people, I've looked at many "work from home" job opportunities but many seem shady or in the worst cases, unethical.

I researched dōTERRA and found the company to have values and visions that I can get behind. It's pretty simple, I love the product, I use the product, I am happy to tell others about it (not sell but tell), and because of all this, I now have an opportunity to gradually earn recurring income from something that fits around my daily commitments as a mom.

My dōTERRA team is very supportive and we get together once a week to meet (after our kids head off to school). At this meeting we have like minded professionals (even a doctor) who discuss the new products, how we've performed in the last week and what we're going to do as a group to spread the word about dōTERRA.

So, "you're not alone". We've been where you are. Being a home based business owner has allowed me to get back to a feeling of direction that so many of us lose having young kids. I find myself more focused with challenges and now earning some supplementary income that helps out our entire family.

dōTERRA pure essential oils are revolutionizing the way families manage their health. They harness nature's most powerful elements and share these gifts through a global community of Wellness Advocates.

Why use Essential Oils?

To get the therapeutic benefits of different plants, roots, seeds, and fruits in a manner that is more potent and convenient than the plant, root, seed, or fruit itself.

We assume that the things we buy at the store are safe. We trust that the items that we buy for our home, our health and our family are safe for our bodies. However, most of us have no idea what some of those ingredients can do to our bodies or how dangerously toxic they are to us.

When I started reading the labels I was shocked and surprised to see warnings like, “hazardous to humans and domestic animals” on the back of my cleaning products.

On my skin and body care products I started looking at the ingredients and then researching what they were. Then when I started looking at some of the side effects of some of the health care products I was using to just keep my body healthy (so I thought), I was floored at what was considered “safe” for adults, not to mention children.

Now a regular label reader, I found that food I was eating included many artificial food flavorings, synthetics and a long list of other ingredients which I could barely read let alone pronounce.

As a result, I threw out my entire collection of toxic cleaning products and began making my own with ingredients like vinegar, baking soda and essential oils. I swapped out my commercial body-care products for nontoxic ones and homemade ones, and I cleaned up my already healthy diet by eating only whole, unprocessed foods — without any labels.

So I decided to do lots of research from that day forward and that is how I came into the natural world of essential oils and dōTERRA.

So, What are essential oils? Essential oils are the natural oil from plant, root, bark, seed, flower or stem that have been harvested and distilled down into a pure, aromatic compound.

Each essential oil can be used for a variety of concerns and some have even been proven to be therapeutic.For example: Eucalyptus oil, made from the leaves of the Eucalyptus tree, is known to boost respiratory health, strengthen the immune system, protect skin health, and ease tension. As an added bonus, it smells spectacular and immediately takes your mind back to the spa!The same benefits are often seen for the lavender plant which is known for its calm and relaxing qualities.

Why use essential oils? After researching essential oils, I was convinced of their benefits. The question was, what quantities of the plant, tree, shrub or leave do I need to use to achieve the benefit? I was surprised to see for example in order to get the therapeutic benefits of ONE DROP of peppermint essential oil, a person would have to drink 40 cups of peppermint tea ! Clearly this was not attainable. So, I wanted to get these therapeutic benefits of different plants, roots, seeds, and fruits in a manner that is more potent and convenient than the plant, root, seed, or fruit itself.

Why dōTERRA essential oils? When it comes to essential oils, quality matters; and that is why it’s important to be confident in the essential oil brand you choose to use for your family. dōTERRA sets the standard in the essential oil market and is the number one essential oil company in the world.

You would want it to come from the other side of the world in Somalia, where it has the highest therapeutic benefits.

When you become a wholesale customer, you will then get wholesale prices (25% off) on all your future purchases.
